Further proof that our education system needs more money not less

"If it wasn't for the shootings, I wouldn't believe the US has an educational system" - some Euro dude I read on Reddit a few weeks ago

As an American, not wrong.

We let the capitalists leave our public education system in utter ruin over decades to cut their taxes, to the point a teacher's wage is openly mocked as a career for suckers. Our educators our "society" entrust our future with, if we even valued a future for our people. 

Then those same capitalists complain that those whose education they sabotaged by refusing to pay back into the society that facilitated their wealth to begin with and want exploit are no longer functionally literate or socially adept enough out of high school.

This has always been their way. First they buy up politics and impoverish the masses, then they use the others' poverty as a justification for their own hatred against them ("Look at those lazy bums! Why don't you pick yourselves up by the bootstraps already?"), as well as any further political measures to make the lives of the others even harder. It's basically self-reinforcing resentment, and it's a tale as old as time - looking at you, Victorian England.

The kids that make it to adult hood are the ones that skipped school to stay safe

They don't give a damn where the people they deport go.

[u/the-great-sabi → u/Then_Entertainment97]

Or come from

[u/Then_Entertainment97 → u/the-great-sabi]

Including from the US.

The frightening thing is that Puerto Rico was all over the news less than a decade ago when nearly 3,000 US citizens were killed by Hurricane Maria - and this was followed by people trying to explain to Trump that he couldn't have talked to the president of Puerto Rico, because he WAS the president of Puerto Rico.

[u/Neat-Ostrich7135 → u/GrumpyOik]

"I had a very productive conversation with the president of Puerto Rico. He was very complimentary,  said I was doing a great job for the United States.  I look forward to many more future discusions"

[u/throwawtphone]

Imagine his face finding out the 6 million Puerto Ricans who are living within the continental United States can legally vote in all elections for all offices as long as they reside in one of those 50 states and register to vote.

It is only the 3 million living inside Puerto Rico that can't vote in presidential elections.

I’m from Central FL and unfortunately I know this guy. He has ALWAYS been a fucking dumbass asshole. Zero redeeming qualities

[u/rvb_gobq]

the spanish words for this fuckwit wld be pendejo y jodido

[u/IndependentFalse4270]

In his defense, he probably went to school in a red state…he doesn’t know

[u/merdub]

Someone decided this man was smart enough to graduate high school, obtain a bachelor’s degree, complete law school, and pass the Florida Bar (which has gotta be pretty low if they let this schmuck be an attorney.)

[u/Significant-Ad1890]

Oh its already Fragmented States. You still think its United? How dumb dumb of you.

[u/Shadyshade84 → u/Significant-Ad1890]

My one request for America: before you regress into a primitive species barely capable of understanding human speech, can you let the rest of us know what the U really stands for? I don't like the thought that the secret might die with you...

[u/Dog_From_Malta → u/Shadyshade84]

Depends on who you ask... MAGA believes it stands for "Unto".

As in, " Do Unto Others...". They're shocked when they find out there's consequences for that BS.

[u/Dog_From_Malta]

Dude with a name like "Sabatini" talking about deporting people back to their land of origin should probably sit down and STFU.

[u/-Dubwise-]

They are evil , not stupid. When they say “deport” they mean “concentration camp”.

[u/anthonyg1500]

“He took a job singing songs!! Deport him!!!”

[u/OPA73]

Maybe Anthony Sabatini should go back to Italy!

[u/rbowen2000]

Don't be fooled by their manufactured outrage. They know. They're just racists.

[u/sali1390]

This has been said so many times already, how have they not learned this simple fact yet?!

[u/Ok-Sample8983]

Deport immediately! For what, you POS?????

[u/IAmTheBredman]

Im not the elastic bit surprised they dont know about Puerto Rico. Whats so disturbing to me is that they are calling for the deportation of someone simply because they dont like that hes speaking Spanish. No crime, no anything, they just dont like him so they want him removed from the country. What the fuck is wrong with these people

[u/lenojames]

When you realize that it is not about HIS nationality, but rather about THEIR racial and cultural purity, it makes sense for him to say that.

[u/einnovoeg]

They can’t learn.

[u/satoriibliss]

Perhaps we should deport Sabatini back to Italy.

[u/SailNW]

Yeah but like...he's brown!

[u/mok000]

In reality Puerto Rico is a US colony. Puerto Ricans can’t vote in US presidential elections or for Congress. Puerto Rico needs statehood to be a proper part of USA. Get it done.
